In the ancient text, The Yoga Sutra, yoga is defined by 3 words:
Chitta = Mind
Vritti = Fluctuations
Nirodaha = settling /quieting
“Yoga is the settling of the fluctuations of the mind.”
One of the greatest misconceptions about yoga is that you have to be flexible – this simply isn’t true! If you are breathing you are doing yoga...anyone can do it. Practicing yoga helps one connect mind, body and breath to gain self-awareness and focus attention inward. Some benefits are:
-
Reduces stress
-
Improves mood
-
Promotes grounding/reduces anxiety
-
Changes ones relationship with discomfort
-
Improves sleep
-
Improves confidence & self-image
-
Promotes self-love & compassion
-
Promotes healing from trauma
-
Helps manage cravings
In 2017 I completed a 200 hour teacher training program with Johns Creek Yoga; I am a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200). Additionally, I hold multiple certificates in Trauma-Informed Yoga -- this is proving to be highly beneficial for my clients with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and those I treat at an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for mental health & substance abuse.
Do you keep hearing that yoga would be good for you, but you are scared, worried or don't know where to start? Get started in a safe space. There are times in my talk therapy sessions where incorporating breathing and/or grounding techniques can be very beneficial either for the moment or as an experiential way to teach coping skills; we'll discuss! Separate from psychotherapy, I offer two Trauma informed yoga classes:
Weekly LIVE all-levels class
